Meet Our 2026-2027 Club President!

Meet our Rotary Club President for 2026–2027, Bonita Patton!

Bonita has been a proud Rotarian for 8 years, drawn to our club by a passion for service and a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in our community. That spirit of giving back lives at the heart of everything she does.

By day, Bonita serves as VP of Innovation & Program Excellence at the YMCA, where she leads with vision, creativity, and purpose. Outside of work, she's an active and devoted member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Sister Cities, and the UVA President's Council. When she's not changing the world, you'll find Bonita spending quality time with her beloved fur baby, Rocky, or traveling to new destinations to experience different cultures.

We can't wait to see where Bonita's leadership takes us in 2026–2027!
